The Civil War was the most devastating event in America's history to
date. Over 3 million men went to war, and half a million never
returned. Even with the highest combat-kill ratio of all wars, more
died in camps, while many more died in prisons. The American Civil
War -- where the safest place to be was on the battleground.
With twice the men and munitions, the North was thought to win --
although it was believed to be within six months -- it took all of
four years. Many armament firsts and national records were set, and
still held today.
